John Pory

The title page of Pory's translation of [[Leo Africanus]]'s ''A Geographical Historie of Africa'' (1600) John Pory (1572–1636) was an English politician, administrator, traveller and author of the Jacobean and Caroline eras; the skilled linguist may have been the first news correspondent in English-language journalism. As the first Speaker of the Virginia General Assembly, Pory established parliamentary procedures for that legislative body still in use today (although members now elect their Speaker).
